Chapter 391 Port Machinery
"Zhenhua, why are you here?"

In the office of the Xunyang New Wharf Project Headquarters, Xie Youshan said to Lin Zhenhua in surprise.

"Old Xie, I came to see you." Lin Zhenhua said, "I just got home today and heard about you, so I rushed over to have a look."

"Oh, I made you worry." Xie Youshan sighed, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down quickly, I'll get someone to pour water for you."

Although he was demoted to work at the new wharf construction site, Xie Youshan's rank is still there after all. After a greeting, a staff member came in and poured water on Lin Zhenhua, then quietly exited the office and took the room with him. Door.

"Zhenhua, you shouldn't have come." Xie Youshan sat on another sofa next to Lin Zhenhua and said to him.

Lin Zhenhua knowingly asked, "Why?"

Xie Youshan said: "Don't you know what's going on with me now? Other cadres can't hide from me. How can you be like you, who just came back from Africa and came to me as the first stop. Once this matter spreads Get out, it's not good for you."

Lin Zhenhua smiled lightly, and said, "Old Xie, I'm here to see my friend. What's wrong with you? Besides, I've heard about your case, and I haven't made any serious mistakes. What else can I do?"

Xie Youshan said: "Who knows, what will happen next, no one knows. Although I have retained my rank now, I can't guarantee that in the future, who will find out these things again. Sigh, Xiao Lin, you are still young, It might not feel like it.”

"I don't need to think about it." Lin Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "You are my friend. Now that you have something to do and you are not happy, I will definitely come to see you, otherwise what kind of friend are you?"

"Thank you, thank you, this is a friend in need." Xie Youshan replied.To be honest, Lin Zhenhua was able to make a special trip to see him on the first day after returning to Xunyang, which really moved Xie Youshan very much.Although he also knew that his matter would not implicate Lin Zhenhua, but it was not easy for others to do so.He even thought that Lin Zhenhua was not so attentive to him when he was proud of being the deputy mayor.

"Old Xie, is the work here at the new pier going well?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xie Youshan said: "What's wrong with this? The work here is done step by step. I usually only need to look at the report, and I don't have anything to worry about. Right now, the country is carrying out governance and rectification. In terms of funds, I'm a little nervous. The city also said that if you have money, do it, and if you don't have money, let it go. I don't have any pressure."

Lin Zhenhua asked again: "After the new pier is completed, what arrangements will be made for you?"

Xie Youshan said: "Mayor Hong gave me a greeting. He probably went back to the municipal government to hire a researcher at the deputy department level, and then manage the political research office or something."

"Is there no hope of a comeback?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xie Youshan shook his head and said: "There is no such hope yet. My matter is more complicated, and the above has not given a clear conclusion. It is also because there is no clear conclusion, so I want to correct my handling in the future , and can’t find a reason, do you understand?”

"That means..." Lin Zhenhua swallowed the words, and there were some things that he couldn't say directly in front of Xie Youshan.

Xie Youshan helped Lin Zhenhua get the words out: "That's right, my whole life is over. If I delay a step in the affairs of the officialdom, it will be difficult to catch up later."

Xie Youshan didn't go into too much detail with Lin Zhenhua. In fact, he had asked his family members to go out to do activities about this matter, but it didn't work.In fact, his family still has some ties in the province. If the family members' activities are not effective, it proves that there is little hope for his affairs.

"So, old Xie, what are your plans?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xie Youshan said: "Zhenhua, actually even if you don't come to me, I will look for you in a few days."

"Looking for me?" Lin Zhenhua asked strangely.

"Yes, I'm looking for you." Xie Youshan said, "Zhenhua, do you remember, I told you in your office a year ago that I also want to transfer to a company, and work in the government, which is difficult There are too many places."

"A year ago?" Lin Zhenhua thought about it carefully, and vaguely felt that there was such a thing.

That was when Xie Youshan had just brought a delegation back from abroad to attract business. At that time, many government officials in Xunyang City were planning to leave their jobs without pay and go overseas to start a business. Xie Youshan joked that he had the same intention, and Lin Zhenhua even had a few words with him at that time joke.What Xie Youshan said at that time was purely for posturing, because he was on the eve of being promoted to be the deputy mayor, and he wouldn't even want to go to sea if he was killed.

However, when Xie Youshan brought up this matter again today, he took it a little seriously.His career opportunities are gone. If he changes his career to start a business, he may be able to survive the crisis.Xie Youshan is a very capable person, and has a wide range of social connections, so he has a great future as an enterprise.

"Old Xie, are you serious?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xie Youshan nodded, and said: "I'm serious. To be honest, I've been in the office for so many years, and it's a bit stage fright for me to go to sea. But now that I'm in the office, it won't be interesting for me to hang around anymore. It’s just a joke to go back to the municipal government to be a researcher. I’m only 41 years old this year, and I’m not ready to die, so I want to try my luck in another place.”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old Xie, going to sea is not an easy task. Don't look at those of us who are entrepreneurs, sometimes we seem to have a lot of glory, but it is actually quite difficult. By the way, that Feng Maoqiao came to me today, Said that he would donate his Maoqiao gear company to Hanhua Heavy Industries."

"Why?" Xie Youshan really felt very strange.

Lin Zhenhua said: "He heard some rumors that he was afraid that he would be labeled as a capitalist in the future, so he wanted to donate the company in advance."

"Nonsense!" Xie Youshan said disdainfully, "He would actually believe such rumors. The country's entire open policy can only move forward, not backward. Now it is different from the past, and the common people are already used to life It has improved, and if anyone wants to roll back the policy and let the common people go back to the old days of three taels of oil and eight taels of meat a month, the common people will definitely quit.”

This is the difference between government officials like Xie Youshan and peasant entrepreneurs like Feng Maoqiao.In terms of business, Xie Youshan may not be as good as Feng Maoqiao, but when it comes to studying and judging national policies, ten Feng Maoqiaos are not as good as one Xie Youshan.Although Xie Youshan is no longer the deputy mayor, he still has a good understanding of the country's major policies.

"Tall, old Xie, really tall." Lin Zhenhua gave Xie Youshan a thumbs up and praised, "I told Lao Feng the same way, but he is still unreliable."

"Not at ease, let him give the company to me. I'm not afraid of being a capitalist." Xie Youshan said with a chuckle. After chatting with Lin Zhenhua for a while, Xie Youshan's mood improved a lot, and he spoke more easily.

Lin Zhenhua also smiled and said, "Old Xie, are you embarrassed? Old Feng has worked hard to earn a family fortune, and you, a government official, are you willing to ask him for it?"

"What's so embarrassing about this?" Xie Youshan said, "Although I'm still at the deputy department level, but I'm penniless. I want to go into the sea, I don't dare to think about yachts, there must be a lifebuoy, right?"

Lin Zhenhua had a thought, thinking about whether he could introduce Xie Youshan and Feng Maoqiao to do business together, but then he thought again, the gap between these two people is really too big, they should not be able to cooperate.If Xie Youshan wants to do business, he will definitely not work hard to make money like Feng Maoqiao. He has his channels and methods.

"Old Xie, if you really plan to go to sea, have you thought about what kind of business you will be in?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xie Youshan said: "Don't tell me, I really have a goal now, and I plan to discuss it with you."

"What target?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xie Youshan said: "For a while, I was in charge of the construction of the new port, and I suddenly had an idea. I think that in the next few decades, if our country's economy does not have major problems, it is estimated that various places will increase their efforts in port construction. .In this way, there will be a good business opportunity, that is port machinery.”

"You want to be a port machinery?" Lin Zhenhua asked in surprise.

Xie Youshan said: "That's right. Zhenhua, do you remember that last year we went to a lot of port areas for the river-sea combined transport. I noticed at that time that our domestic ports are very low in mechanization, and they are not the same as those in the United States. There is no comparison. For example, the forklifts, battery cars, hoists, cranes, cantilever cranes, and portal cranes used in the port are all produced by specialized enterprises abroad, but in our country, there is no such thing as yet. Professional manufacturers. If I can set up a company specializing in the production of port machinery and engage in specialized production, there will definitely be a market.”

"Not bad." Lin Zhenhua praised, "Old Xie, your foresight is indeed incredible. After hearing your analysis, I think you are really a talent for being the mayor. You really should start a business and make the world casually." Five hundred strong."

Of course, Lin Zhenhua's words were somewhat flattering, but they were not entirely false.At the end of the 80s, to be able to see the business opportunities of port machinery really required some foresight.Xie Youshan has a strong family background and has been influenced by economics since he was a child. His vision is indeed extraordinary.

"So, you also think my thoughts are right?" Xie Youshan was a little happy when he heard Lin Zhenhua's praise.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Your idea is completely correct. But, old Xie, how do you plan to start?"

Xie Youshan said: "I have already learned that there is a construction machinery factory in Nandu. Its current operating conditions are not good and it is on the verge of bankruptcy. The technical conditions of this factory are not bad. If it can adjust its business philosophy, then find a good one. The product can completely bring the dead back to life. I asked my family to ask, and the province is willing to sell this factory for 200 million yuan. If I want to take over, the 200 million yuan can be divided into several installments to pay."

"I know that factory, the price of 200 million is indeed not expensive." Lin Zhenhua said, he even thought that the 200 million may be a preferential price only for Xie Youshan.

"If this factory can be won, I estimate that it will take a few months to complete the adjustment. In terms of the market, I also inquired about it. My father and my grandfather have some acquaintances who work in several ports. Several of them are the main leading cadres of the port. If I set up a port machinery company by myself, they should provide me with some convenience, so some of the final business should be guaranteed.”

"With such good conditions, why are you hesitating?" Lin Zhenhua said, "As long as there is a market these days, it will be easy. Production matters are really not good. I will lend you a few people from Hanhua Heavy Industry. For example, Hu Gui, he is very good at business management, and he can guarantee that your business can resume production quickly."

Xie Youshan said: "Thank you very much if you can lend me a few people. In fact, I have been thinking about this for a while, but I am still hesitant because I want to resign from the public office. Another obstacle is that I Let alone 200 million now, you can’t even get 10 yuan.”

"Money is not a problem." Lin Zhenhua said, "I think this project has a future. Lao Xie, if you really want to do it, I can find a way to raise money for you."

This is Lin Zhenhua's character, he doesn't like to go around the bush very much, he just speaks out when he thinks about something.He and Xie Youshan have been friends for many years. Both of them are smart people. I basically know what the other is thinking. At this time, there is no need to play charades coyly.

Regarding the prospect of port machinery, Lin Zhenhua has actually thought about it, but he already has a lot of products on hand, including large fertilizer equipment, large ethylene equipment, water jet propulsion, CNC machine tools, etc., and a lot of light industry projects. It is really powerless for him to devote his energy to developing a port machinery market.

Hanhua Heavy Industry has introduced a lot of talents over the years, but none of them are ready to stand alone, so Lin Zhenhua dare not casually expand new business directions.Now that Xie Youshan intends to do port machinery, Lin Zhenhua naturally strongly supports it.

"Zhenhua, if you think it's feasible, let's do it together?" Xie Youshan extended an invitation.

"How to do it together?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Xie Youshan said: "The two of us are working in partnership. You pay part of the money and lend me the other part. The two of us each hold half of the shares. I am in charge of the daily affairs of this company. You only need to pay me Some ideas are enough. If there is profit in the future, the two of us will be half."

"Aren't you at a disadvantage in this way?" Lin Zhenhua said, "Old Xie, this is a company you started yourself, and it's inappropriate for me to intervene out of thin air."

Xie Youshan said: "If someone else intervenes, I will definitely not do it. But if you, Zhenhua, are willing to intervene, I would like it. To be honest, I still have some concerns about running a business. If you can cooperate with me, I will Confidence. Don't worry, I don't need you to do daily management work. I just need you to give me some advice on major decisions. I believe that your advice will be very valuable."

Xie Youshan's words were not polite words, but the result of his careful consideration.After all, he has no business experience, and it would be very risky to start a company alone.Out of such considerations, he decided to join Lin Zhenhua in order to take advantage of Lin Zhenhua's market experience.In terms of the distribution of shares, Xie Youshan didn't think too much about it. What he can see now is just a small company that has just started. It doesn't make much difference whoever takes more proportion.

Many companies have this feature in their initial stage. After a few like-minded friends discussed with each other, they started a company.At the beginning of the company's establishment, everyone was very detached about the distribution of equity, often evenly distributed, or distributed according to some very ridiculous reasons.

For example, there used to be a famous home appliance giant, which was originally a small factory established by two childhood partners with 2000 yuan each.At that time, the factory set aside 10% of the shares to the village where the factory is located, and the remaining shares were divided equally between the two partners.Later, the company collapsed due to internal equity issues.

"Hehe, okay, I wish I could partner with you, Lao Xie." Lin Zhenhua replied straightforwardly, "Well, I will be responsible for raising 200 million yuan for you, of which 100 million yuan is considered to be lent to you by me, and the other 100 million yuan It can be regarded as my share capital. As for the newly established company, you can hold 70% and I can hold 30%. "

"This won't work, the two of us will be one and half, and we will make important decisions together." Xie Youshan insisted.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old Xie, there is no need to be polite between us. As you know, I already have equity in Hanhua, so I don't need to occupy so many shares in your company. I will take 30 % of the shares is also for the purpose of helping you in the future. As you said, the future operation of this company is mainly done by you. I only paid for the money. If I take too many shares, I will feel uneasy of."

"Well, okay." Xie Youshan nodded and said, "Since you have reached this level, let's calculate it according to the ratio of seven to three to me. As for the 200 million yuan for the acquisition of the mining machinery factory, it is also to be calculated on a ratio to seven to three to you." Alright. You lend me 60, and then lend me 140 million. In the future, when the company is profitable, I will return 140 million to you, what do you think?"

"Okay, that's it." Lin Zhenhua said.

"I need to discuss this matter with my family members, especially my father and grandfather. If they agree, I will go to Mayor Hong to resign." Xie Youshan said .

Lin Zhenhua asked with a smile: "By the way, Lao Xie, have you thought about what the name of your new company is?"

Xie Youshan said: "I haven't written a word about this matter yet. How could I think of such a small matter. I think, in short, it should be called some kind of port machinery company. Hey, that's right, or I can use your name, called Zhenhua Port Machinery, what do you think?"

　... a little joke with national industrial giants, don't take it seriously.In addition, the effect of asking for a monthly pass yesterday was not good, and I will continue to ask for a monthly pass today.
